AT one time, and not many years sgo
either, the city Of Manchester had
first-rate market, where the people
could procure the freshest and most
choice viands. By degrees the green
groceries drew this trade, and finally
the market was entirely deserted. Of
late only the front stalls on Hull street
have been kept by Mr.. King and MIR.
William Snellings, who had both OF his
legs cut Oft at the knee during the war.
Recently Mr.. Forester applied to the
Council for the right to keep meats in
one of the stalls and display them in
front of the building until the other
stalls were occupied. The request was
granted, other stands have been leased
and are now being prepared, and the
probability is that in few days there
will be a better market here than ever
before.
Many who have hitherto enjoyed the
Sunday afternoon meetings at the
Richmond and Danville reading-rooms
will be glad to know that the meetings
will be resumed tomorrow afternoon at
3:45 o'clock.
II is hardly necessary to say that the
meeting Will be as usual interesting.
There will be good singing with cornet
and organ accompaniment

the Sunday school were quite enjoya-

The meetings at both the Fifth

manifested.

of Richmond College, late pastor
of the church, presided, and in
brief and happily phrased speech
assured DR.. Goodwin, for the
J church, OF a most hearty welcome once
more TO the bosom of his fold.
Dr. Goodwin very feelingly thanked
the congregation for the spirit which
prompted the services and gave "a short

This insect Is well known and needs
but brief description. They hibernate
in the pupe stage. and the image. a
small white moth. comes forth in May
or June according to latitude. Their
eggs are deposited on the under side
of leaf in cluster. usually near the
tip of branch. The Larvae hatch in
July or August They are quite gen.
eral feeders. and attack forest and
fruit trees almost unfortunately.
The moths are seldom seen. as they fly
entirely at night. There is but one
breed in the Northern States. and two
in the South The young worms
soon make their presence known by
tho very conspicuous web which
they throw over themselves. Tho
presence of this web in late summer
or fall is an unmistakable sign Of
their indemnity. They do not leave
this protecting net ut all during
growth. but extend it from branch to
branch. taking in sometimes con-
siderable portion Of one side of a
fruit tree under one net They eat
only the purple part Of the leaves,
leaving the veins and under surface
scorched and scar behind them They
complete their growth during Septem-
Der and October, varying with lati-
tude, when they wander from the net
and soon drop to the earth to pupate
under loose soil or .rabbish of any
character.
1t is considered by many entomolo.
gists and orchardists that cutting of
tho branches and completely Destroy
ing the larvm in each colony by fire
or some cffectual means is the best
way to deal with them They can
readily be destroyed by applying a
blazing torch to the web. but tins does
fully as much injury AS cutting away
the branch. and in unskillful hands
may do much more. Paris green
would likely be effective, but where
the whole colony can be so readily
destroyed by cutting away the branch
on which they are feeding, it would
seem to DO tho cheapest and best rem-
